can I use phosguard and phosphate rx at the same time?

Can I use phosguard and phosphate rx at the same time? Just don't want to kill anything in my tank I'm running purigen and phosguard and just dosed phosphate rx my phosphates read 0.23 but I only half dose the rx should I pull the phosguard from the tank? I have an overrated skimmer and a 5 micron sock the kind they use for brewing or wine making. Please please help

You can delete this I posted in tank emergency instead to get a quick response hopefully

I have dosed both. Phosphate Rx to knock it down a bit quicker. Just be careful on dosing as I'm sure you know

OK I'm gonna put the Phosguard back in then, thank you

Just use purigen, that stuff is awesome.

Careful if you have sps or even lps corals, lowering phosphate too fast will kill them. I killed some by using the recommended dose of the brs high capacity gfo. I'd pick one product only and start with less than the recommended dose.

I let the tank run without phosguard all night and this morning, and just put it back in, some of the phosphate should be bound by the rx so I'm just gonna keep the 5m sock in and skim wet and see how it does, all the coral look good but I don't have sps. Thank you all for your help
